W&B Diamond Edge restore

This is my first restore got this razor off of the bay, it has a ton of hone wear and the patina was pretty bad when I got it but I love this razor none the less.

Right now I'm on 220 grit sandpaper. Unfortunately I don't think I will be able to remove all the pitting but I think it should look pretty good when I'm done regardless.

I will add picks of the scales soon.

Lookin' Good!! I look forward to seeing the finished product. I plan on undertaking a restoration real soon, so I'm really interested to see how yours turns out. Good luck with it!

Looking good.
What kind of scales are you thinking of?

**detroyt** · 12-09-2009, 03:10 PM

I am just going to clean up the horn scales it came with.

You got any pics of it before you started?

No, I wish I did. I was bored one day and started sanding it without even thinking.
